2% Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment

Body acne is a common problem, and blemishes on the back, chest and beyond are triggered by the same factors that lead to facial breakouts. Although body acne can usually be covered by clothing, it can be embarrassing at the gym, beach or pool. The good news is, the right combination of dermatologist-recommended ingredients can help clear these acne breakouts fast.

To avoid excessive dryness, start with one application a day and increase to twice a day if needed

“For those with moderate acne, I recommend salicylic acid because of its exfoliating properties. It is also safe to use in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide, so a regimen with both ingredients packs a double punch for clearing and preventing blemishes.”
